US ARMY Research Engineers Boost Battery Life By 30%, Call It 'Quantum Leap'
Look, we know we're slowly heading towards WWIII and we hate to admit that engineers will play major role in making sure that the war will be video-game like. We however hope to see the defense research to help improve our lives - and one that got our attention is the resent research by US ARMY. Through their Error, the US ARMY has published that they've been able to boost the battery life by about 30%. The researchers have developed new materials that could potentially increase energy density of the batteries by huge margin.
